[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
It looks like we've reached our limits with our Wizards when it comes to custom roms... Since the roms are limited to pretty much freeware only there is only so much that can be done to a rom before it is released and it doesn't look to me like there is a whole lot more that can be done...

I have looked at and tested 3 different roms in the last 3 days:

TNT5.0

BlackDiamond 2.0

octaivoi's wizard 4.8

Except for small, minor, subtle differences that aren't really noticible unless you're looking for them like settings and tweaks and what not, these 3 roms are almost exactly the same performance, appearance, and software wise...

Does anybody else see this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] noob240:
AGREED for sure, once all the bugs and problems are sorted out there really isnt much to go for...until windows mobile 7.0 comes out...;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
Haha I hear that. I hope it comes out sooner than later but I'm not so sure it could really be that much different than WM5 or WM6 since WM6 wasn't really that different from WM5 anyway other than software updates and a few new settings...

I think that WM7 should be ground breaking... Totally different from anything already out there. If WM7 is nothing more than WM6 with minor software updates, then I will be very dissapointed... They need to do something totally out there and innovative, like a new interface and different setup. The only real problem is WM6 was made at relatively the same time as WM5 so once base roms were leaked, people all over started building their own versions of it.

Since WM7 is still a year away from being released, it might be hard to find a WM7 base rom that is compatible with the Wizard and operate on the limited system specs of the Wizard...

Thats just my opinion.

"Since WM7 is still a year away from being released, it might be hard to find a WM7 base rom that is compatible with the Wizard and operate on the limited system specs of the Wizard... "

so there is a wm7...hmmm... knowing ms...it will be tweaks and more vista like...ai ai ai... a better browser..maybe deepfish, see thru windows... but by then the wizard wont be able to use it due to its processor... there will be a ghz processor... they should really drop the whole windows mobile experience altogether imho... do something totally new... our cookers are better tweakers than what ms has...:D ..

i will try the tnt new one coming out...looks promising with all the issues about missed calls and what not... then just wait for more..i guess..

:rolleyes:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
Yes the new WM7 is actually Windows Mobile Photon based on Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional and is supposedly supposed to work on all devices according to a leak from MS but I doubt it...

If you want to try TNT5.0, you should give this version a try. It's my personally modified version to have custom splash screens and 2.19 radio plus a 12mb page pool. http://www.filefactory.com/file/ee7e74/
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] calouro:
Consider this

Before Touch Flow arrived, some people had the same thoughts as you, "have we reached the limit". Then Touch Flow arrived and we had a large burst of new stuff for the wizard.

You say: Ok, Calouro, what's your point, I don't even like Touch Flow.

Well, it doesn’t really matter if you like touch flow or not, the point is, when a new PPC comes out with a new look or new applications, we hare at XDA get excited and we grab them and make it work on a now aging device.

You say: ok, ok, I see your point Calouro, but really, your talking about just looks and applications, how about stability and performance.

Well, I'm glad you asked. You see, WM5 is the last official ROM for the Wizard. The reason you have WM6 running is due to the dedicated and talented people from all over the word, combining knowledge and experience (most of the time with out pay) to make something work on a device that it was not designed to work on.

You say: Ok, your point Calouro

Ok, I'm getting there. You see, when WM6 first came to the Wizard, it was very unstable. Well, that was a while ago, now we have an almost 100% stable, high performance (usually higher then WM5) WM6 ROM. Now, we still a few issues to resolve on WM6 don't get me wrong. However, we are moving forward with each ROM release.

You say: I understand what your saying Calouro, but show me proof

Well, here is the proof, every WM6 ROM had missed call issues since first introduced to the Wizard. A few talented XDA members looked into this and discovered that with a simple reg tweak the issue is fixed on one particular ROM build. So, now we can take that knowledge and try to get the issue fixed on all ROM builds. Furthermore, there is another issue with the vibrate function after you command the device out of vibrate. This appears to be fixed on the latest ROM release here.

You say: Ok, Calouro, so we are fixing bugs. Great, what else?

Well, as we get WM6 100% stable, which by the way, has only just been released to the public on newer devices, we will continue to grab cool applications from other devices to keep our Wizards at the top. I can’t afford to buy a new PPC every time a new one comes out with a new OS.

You say: Great! Anything else Calouro? Are you done yet?

Almost! When WM7 comes out, most people will say it can't be run on a Wizard, others will say the Wizard has reached its limit. I disagree, some very talented XDA member will grab it, dissect it and trim it down. Then put it all back together and make in run on a Wizard.

All True

Wanted to add this.

Not so much just for fun. You call your service provider they will not support the new rom. They will not even offer it at all ( they want your money).

Two of my friend got inspired with what all I can do with my Wizard they bought new ones. The default ROM was too slow that the device was almost useless.

Our modified ROMs atleast help them to use the phone ( ROI). One can by iPhone and let Steve choose what all you can do with that $800 investment.

ellow

my first phone was a wizard , after that an universal and an elf but i bought a wizard once again because it is the most updated and popular device to hack here on xda, i dont do this to get a better device but it is my hobby.

everytime there is a minor little update i will dll and install it

about wm7 :

did anyone noticed that the speed of devices like the wizard did not improve very much (except universal , but came with the price), althoug my wizard boots up a lot faster. I dont think that we cannot run it on a wizard , maybe with a adjusted version of it

i love my wizard and i hope that all the people (dr dot, etc) will keep on upgrading the roms

PS : thnx to all the xda developers

Geez, guys just look at the Himalaya. That thing came with WM 2003 and they already have WM6. A few of the more savvy among us are currently porting builds that were never remotely released on the Wizard. The fun has only begun boys. BTW, I just bought my brand new Wizard a couple of months ago from Tigerdirect. It is not a refurb. These can still be had for a fraction of the cost of a Hermes, and besides the relative lack of speed with EDGE, they are still wonderful and durable devices. I will use mine until it's lost, stolen or just plain broke. Better than my old iPAQ 6315. What a POS!

I really am no cook but just an expectator from those geniuses who have worked hard to make our wizard do its best.. a word like have we reach our limit is to harsh words to say for me and maybe for other users and most specially to the cookers( are you underestimating them? hope not...)

aside from speed ( solution has been granted by the xda cookers and still developing) I think as for my own opinion wizard has been undisputed to do what other hybrid phones can do even now better due to our hardworking cookers

read post of TNT and others makes me glad to know I still have a good reason to still hold my wizard... keep it up guys and for the people who can i say like me an expectator ... all i we can say is ... our thanks and we really salute you guys for being there and had a very quick solution if there are problems and replies for those who are aspiring to be like you and be able in our little way to contribute to our society/ forum

Never say Finished

WM6 was the rage this time last year for developers. Then HTC came out this summer with the "Touch" GUI and that has been the thing to pursue. Crapple will come out with something else and HTC will lead, follow or get out of the way, but the guys here will pursue whatever is hot in the marketplace. So, hang on to your Wizards. I'm sure there's more in store. It is a great little platform.:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ND4SPD:
I'm guessing you meant CE 6.0?:p Unlike WM6, which Major release is 5, meaning it uses the old CE 5.0 kernel while WM7 will actually be major release 6. (this means all actual build numbers wil start of with 6.?.???.

Can't wait 'till that comes out and we get some of our good guys to port it over here. Of course, I really want to learn how to do this porting business.

Meanwhile I'll just mess around with the CE 6.0 files I have in Visual Studio. Not much I can do with the knowledge I have.

I'm looking to get to the Main Service Mode menu. For example on SG S4 it was *#0011# and then Q0000,but it's not the same for SG S6 Active.

There's no root yet for this device so Phone Info app is not working either.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaukraut:
Dear experts,

I wonder why the 5X has no Qi feature, as the Nexus 5 had. Generally, I wonder, why most of the new phones relinquish inductive charging. Can someone tell me why?

Is the feature not demanded by the market / the customers?

Has it any other major drawbacks?

I mean, I know that inductive charging is slower and less efficient than wired charging (though getting more and more efficient), but I love this feature on my N5 and don't ever want a phone without it again. Cases featuring Qi are looking not so good in my opinion.

Can anybody give me the reason, why most of the new phones relinquish inductive charging?

"...because Google thinks we are stupid"
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
I agree with that article. Not that people are stupid but wireless charging, as it currently is, really isn't worth it. The time and convenience you get with it is negated by the longer charging time. Plugging a type-C cable is quick and easy and much faster charging.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2x4:
Qi charging is worthless MOST of the time. HOWEVER, when it is useful, there is NO EQUIVALENT.

Going to bed? Place phone on pad to charge overnight. Much less hassle and quick charging doesnt matter since there is plenty of time.

Sitting at work? Place phone on pad to keep charged. Easy to place and remove for meeting and quick charging doesnt matter since this is only for keeping it charged.

Car Mount: place phone on Qi enabled car mount = muss less hassle and more safety when you're doing something else.

Useless applications:

- airports (not enough time, slow charging)

- Coffee shops (same reason)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
But it's more of a luxury than a necessity cause you have to purchase all those charging pads. And then it can't even charge at regular charging speed. In the car that's pretty useless especially if you use music and/or GPS going. You'll still drain your battery. Is it really that much of a hassle to plug in a cord, let alone, a reversible cord?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2x4:
it's a luxury much like buying additional USB-C charging cables and adapters is, no different.

Qi charging can charge at 2A nowadays, so it would likely not drain.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
Kind of but those cables are cheaper. Also, the first 3 Qi Wireless chargers I see on Amazon can use a 2A wall charger but all output only 1A. Lastly, in the case of the Nexus 5X, even a wired 2.4A car charger can't provide enough power to charge the phone while using GPS and playing music. But I think that's a temperature throttle issue.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2x4:
cables yes, USB-C wall/car chargers, no.

http://www.androidcentral.com/your-qi-charger-will-soon-support-15w-fast-charging

Can't really prove this to you with data, but I use AutoMate on my N5X daily with GPS and screen on the whole time, in Texas, and the phone does not lose much charge, if any. Usually stays the same or increases by 2%-3%

Actually the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are probably the closest to your request. They are a wee bit larger than the N5.

Qi wireless car chargers go for $50 or more. Type-C car chargers are cheaper. Unless you know of a Qi Wireless QuickCharge for $15-$20.

Yeah QuickCharge wireless charging is "coming soon". "Coming soon" the key phrase and this was back in June 2015. And when that comes out it'll be more expensive than wired QuickCharge for sure. More than $15-$20 type-C wall chargers out already now.

EeZeEpEe, I see u are an opponent of Qi. Have you actually ever tried it? When I got my N5, it was the first phone for me supporting Qi. I thought, this is a useless gimmick for nerds. But then I gave it a try. Since then I never ever charged my phone wired again.

I think I will go for the Galaxy S7.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
Nope but I'm just saying that it's nice but not cheaper, faster, or that much more convenient. If it's the same price as wired, it's slower. If it's able to match the speeds of wired charging, it's more expensive. And with type-C reversible cables, plugging in isn't much of a hassle.

The GS7 will have type-C and wireless charging anyway.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oprah winfrey:
My personal theory is that since the 6P is metal they couldn't use qi, and therefore couldn't let the budget 5X have a feature not in the premium model. Lack of wireless charging is why I held off on getting the 5X so long. I really hate having USB cables hanging around. Having a pad or two on a desk or night stand is much nicer. Hopefully it comes back in the next Nexus.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnusualSuspect:
This^

I bought a 5x within a minute of it going live on the Play Store. Naive fellow that I am, I was actually hoping against hope that it would have the same magnets in the back that the Nexus 5 has, so I could continue to use my Nexus-branded Qi charger.

I was shocked to find out that Qi was not supported at all. Instead, Google saddled us with a new-and-not-quite-ready-for-prime-time USB standard.

They tell us it's great because you can't plug it in the wrong way. Hmmm - a solution in search of a problem.

Faster charging? Again, this solves a problem I didn't have.

USB-C, for me, is just another proprietary cable. I do not own any other USB-C devices, and don't anticipate getting any in the near term.

USB-C cables: I bought C-to-A and C-to-C cables from Amazon before it was discovered that not all of them are actually compliant with the standard. I bought the wrong kind of cables. I could've gotten two or three more Qi charging pads for what I paid for those (useless) cables.

I know that for many following this thread, fast charging is goodness. I have no need for it, gimme back my Qi.
